Integrating probiotic and amino acid supplementation to optimize reproductive outcomes in highly prolific sow lines

Co-supplementation of B. Subtilis and L-arginine in gestating sows may improve reproductive performance and litter quality.

Piglets’ behaviour and performance in relation to sow characteristics

Only some of the measured nutritive and non-nutritive sow factors influenced litter performance and behaviour, with parity and litter size also playing a role.

Ergotism in an organic sow herd and the impact on lactation performance and subsequent reproductive performance

This case reports the level of ergot alkaloids and duration of exposure found under field conditions in a herd that experienced a high neonatal mortality event consequent to agalactia in the sows.

Assessment of hemoglobin concentration in sows and their offspring over consecutive reproductive cycles

Decreasing sow hemoglobin concentration over the reproductive cycle and lack of post-weaning recovery in parity 3 indicates iron declines with advancing parity and may impact long-term health.
